The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), one of five regional commissions of the United Nations, was set up in 1947 by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Its major aim is to promote pan-European economic integration, bringing together 56 member countries located in the European Union, non-EU Western and Eastern Europe, South-East Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and North America. Any interested UN member States may participate in its work, and over 70 international professional organizations and other non-governmental organizations take part in UNECE activities.

The UNECE provides analysis, policy advice and assistance to governments, and it focuses on the United Nations global mandates in the field of economics, in cooperation with other global players and key stakeholders, notably the business community. The UNECE’s expertise covers sectors such as: economic cooperation and integration, energy, environment, housing and land management, population, statistics, timber, trade, and transport.
